The Solaris "Mailer" program produces attachments and forwards which
are not compatible with my gnus (I have "Mailer 1.3.0" and Gnus
v.5.8.8). I do not know which one deviates from the standards, but
practically I use gnus for both mail and news. But still, I have to
work which colleagues who often send me attachments or forwarded mail
which I cannot easily read. That is, I can do it, but I have to save
it somewhere and and perform the necessary conversions outside gnus).
Now I wonder, given considerable number of people who use gnus on
Solaris, is there a plugin package which would enable me to easily
open an Solaris Mailer attachment, or a forwarded message presently
shown like this:

Wow, I'm surprised that Gnus deals so well with this stuff.
Actually, the Sun messages conform to a Sun standard, and Sun
themselves have migrated to MIME with Solaris and CDE.
Try typing `t' on the MIME button, instead of RET. That ought to
offer you a list of MIME types -- if you already know what's inside
the attachment, you could choose the right one. If you don't know
what's in there... hm. Maybe you could type `v' and specify "file %s"
(sans quotes) as the viewer. That would tell you what's in the file.
Then you can choose the right viewer with `v' or type with `t'.
